Thoughts on the Pixel 9?
I'm beginning to think now that the a Xiaomi or Poco may not be my next phone due to its size and camera issues. I have a Pixel 8 right now and have unused discount codes.
Is it worth upgrading to a Pixel 9 you think?

Nobody , 18 Feb 2025Go for OnePlus better than both of them I can't see myself buying a OnePlus anymore. Not because of their performance and so--so cameras. But their sheer size.
AN ideal phone size for me is that of a Pixel 9 or a Xiaomi 15 i think. The Galaxy S "+" device if it was less wide and lighter in weight.
Any thoughts?

or wait for the 9a or 10 instead?

IqbalM, 18 Feb 2025It's a joke, you chose Samsung 24 over 14T, yes it... moreWhy hate on someone for choosing because of one ui. It really is superior to xiaomi hyper OS 2.0. They still have to optimize more for battery on some of their devices. Although the 14t and 14 t pro has great battery life. I can't stand some of the bugs and app incompatibility with xiaomi that's some of the things I ran into using a 14 t pro. Still have it but my main device is now an S25 ultra. No issues so far. Plus that 7years OS ensures I'll be good to hold onto my phone longer and just do battery change if needed. That's another thing to with Samsung parts availability is plentiful can't say the same for xiaomi unless you're in specific countries and that's why many still go with Samsung and iPhone.

Gino76ph, 17 Feb 2025Thoughts on a Xiaomi 14T phone? or a Galaxy S24?To be honest, it's hard to beat Xiaomi in terms of hardware. But I'd rather choose S24 over 14T, mainly because of the UI. I like OneUI more than HyperOS. I really don't like the quick drop-down menu in HyperOS. And battery life seems subpar on Xiaomi phones, for some reason. I mean, X7 Pro has 6000 mAh and a fairly efficient SoC and yet, doesn't break the 13h active use mark. Was really expecting to see 14h+. Can also add updates, an area in which neither really shine - S24 has yet to receive Android 15... Dunno, my personal pick would be: Pixel 9, S24 and 14T. In that order.

Bought this phone 3 weeks ago, 12/512 version. Zero issues so far, fast, silky smooth UI, good battery life. The only thing I don't like is the case - doesn't fit quite right. I'll wait for Kapaver to release a rugged case for it (bought one for Redmi 9 - suberb quality).

or a Galaxy S24?14T is trashed in German forums.
14T Pro isn't bad, if you can find some for less than 500€. Else is 2x overpriced than it should be.
S24 is a different league mate. Don't even mention it as an alternative to Xiaomi and Poco.. I'm not a fanboy, but Xiaomi can only compare to Samsung's midrange phones, regardless what is written on paper

This phone is all about gaming and performance... Stop complaining about cameras... Go buy Redmi Note series or if you have the bucks, go buy Samsung S25...
